The Bubble Burster

In my days of innocence, a man- more a fantasy of flesh and blood- came unexpectedly along and stepped inside my little bubble. At last we had our moment. His mouth on mine, pillow soft, moved strangely out of synche with my own lips, and this was the pin that burst my bubble. for PD's Contest: free verse poem. (15 max lines)

Andrea Such a passionate, romantic, innocent, and lovely write. The "innocence" of that kiss can do all kinds of things to someone. Thanks for the great comment on my Yellow Treat poem. No I didn't enter the Yellow contest. I didn't have a poem for that one at the time. Hugs

Creative write Andrea....love the analogy between our hopes being a bubble. Many bubbles pop before we find the one that won't. Awesome title as well. Congrats on your big win! Hugs

I love this. In the first stanza, it would seem the man would break the bond, then in the second stanza you reveal it was not entirely his doing, a mismatched union. This resonates with truth, that even when it is no ones fault, sometimes love just isn't enough, that square and round don't fit. Esquire below me made me nod my head. I love reading the comment made to me (I thought) posted as the exact same reply to 12 other poets. Oops, who said that? Still, soup rocks ... as does your poem

Look, but don't touch in reality. But in our dreams there's much to see. The bubble pops when alas, we kiss. It's a shame, the romance that we have to miss.
